Predicting product placements In the future, the best television programs will be the ones with the most seamless product placements.

Last night on Medium, Allison and her super-hunky husband Joe are discussing the coming evening's married-couple kid-free "date." Joe holds up a full-page newspaper ad for "Memoirs of a Geisha," that announces a sneak preview of the film that evening. "You liked the book honey," he says, or something like that, and the two agree they should go.

"What's a geisha?" asks middle daughter that I really like because she's weird and her hair is always in big knots like mine was when I was around that age.

"Ask your mother," replies super-hunky Joe.

So, here I am thinking, wow, that's topical, I guess. What up with that? Sure enough, right at the break, a sneak preview and a commercial advertising free passes to see "Memoirs of a Geisha."

At least I don't have to deal with this crap on Lost.

Kate: Wow, I hope we get rescued soon. I really wanted to see the movie-version of "Memoirs of a Geisha" in theaters December 9th!

Sayid: I know, right?!  ¶ 12:52 PM
